I hadn't booked a property through Homeaway before this one, but we have been to Sainte-Maxime before and this was in the right area for us, and the photos looked great. The owner, Gwenael, explained clearly how to get access to the property and arranged for our linen rental.
The property was just as we expected from the photos - very clean, with a lovely view across the bay to St Tropez. It is very well equipped with everything we needed for our week's stay, giving us the choice between cooking for ourselves or walking the short distance into town to eat in one of the many restaurants in Sainte-Maxime.
We recommend a trip on the bateau vert to St Tropez (especially for the market on Saturday and Tuesday) - definitely better than driving there. There are beaches within walking distance but it is also worth a short drive to Plage de la Nartelle or a longer drive to the beaches around La Croix-Valmer south of St Tropez.
We had a lovely time and would love to return soon.
